Serial I/f Application

NOTE

Interface Extensions Application

IP Address

Displays the IP address for this interface.

This parameter can be changed to a new IP; however, changing this parameter by itself has no effect on the IP stack configuration and this value will not automatically be stored for the next restart.

The correct sequence is to make any changes, then Apply Changes. When Apply Changes is set to 'apply', the IP stack will store the changes permanently and will restart the stack.

Netmask

Displays the subnet mask for this interface. See the description of IP Address for a more information.

Default Router

Displays the IP address of the default router used by this interface. See the description of IP Address for a more information.

Apply Changes

This causes changes to the IP configuration of the device to be made permanent, reconfigures the stack to use the parameters, and optionally restarts the stack using these parameters. Store And Apply will store changes in non-volatile memory and reconfigure the stack to use those parameters.

Applying the new parameters may cause the device to reset. In this case there will be a delay of a few seconds before the new configuration is adopted, which will allow the SNMP response to the set request to be returned.

The correct procedure when changing IP configuration is to set all individual parameters and then apply changes. If the device resets before a Store And Apply is done, it will loose the changes.

Possible values are Not Applicable and Store And Apply.

Enable IPX

Displays whether IPX is enabled or not.

Possible values are Not Available, Enable, and Disable.

Name

Displays a short text name associated with an interface. Not all interface types can be named. If an instance of this object does not exist for a particular interface, then that interface cannot be named.
